Not quite. Athos, Porthos and Aramis, who are joined by d'Artagnan.
Cheers!
Aramis, derp -- thanks! Been a while ...
Aramis Entreri is Artemis' lesser-known second cousin.

Oh my god, this is wonderful! The sex/gender bit is just BAM straight-up LGBTQIA-friendly progressive. It's possibly the most directly progressive message in this department I've ever seen in a mainstream fantasy RPG (granted, some may have escaped my attention), and it's awesome. The example of a character who would be called trans as LITERALLY made in the image of (a) god is just beautiful.
That is definitely what I call a good start to this chapter, and indeed puts me in a good place regarding 5E (as someone with gay and trans friends and players, particularly so).
me and ruin explorer don't agree on everything, but oh my god 100% this...
I almost cried reading the sex part of the book.

Looking through the spell lists, I was noticing that material components were back (YAY!). The rules for these say that the materials are only consumed if the spell says so. Here is a list of spells with material components(that have a stated GP cost) that are NOT consumed in the casting. (Imprisonment is a special case-you can recycle components but there are consequences...)
Augury
Find the Path
Gate
Holy Aura
Indentify
Mordenkainen's Sword
Warding Bond
I'm not making a value judgement on these or anything. Some of these may work that way as intended. This is just an FYI in case some of these were supposed to be consumed but the language was omitted.

Long Rest Question
Going by RAW, is it possible for a first level character to regain his or her hit die during a long rest? The rule says that during a long rest "the character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to half of the character's total number of them." Following the "always round down" rule, that would mean a character with one hit die can never regain it via a long rest.
This is easy enough to house rule away, but surely this is not what the designers intended, right? Maybe they should add a clarification that a character always regains at least one hit die during a long rest?

It would be more fun to drop the rounding rule for this one.
That way you can have Eric the half a hit die.

I should mention whatever I say about the rest of the game, the sex part is a huge step forward.
Good to see that they left the Short Rest wording the same. The "at least one hour" means one hour or more. So while a group could do it after every encounter, by the RAW, players can't just string them together (unless, as a DM, you don't mind them being able to do that).
Not that I was worried about it, but I know some were.
No. That's wrong.
I can spend ten dollars, by spending at least 5 dollars twice in a row.
Dude, come on. This is greater than or equals signs, not a hard concept to understand.

I don't have problem with stringing as much rest together as the players like. Monsters will get the same benefit from such rests of course and there will be responses to the PC's activity in areas where it makes sense. Also, certain opportunities and treasure may vanish while the PC's sit on their rumps, but it is an option they are welcome to exercise.
